Your kids know the Bible, but what happens when they start hearing claims that Jesus never existed or that the resurrection is just a myth? Even middle schoolers are facing these challenges—so how do we equip them with real answers instead of just saying, “Because I believe”? Today, I'm sitting down with Hillary Ferrer, author of Mama Bear Apologetics, to talk about how to raise kids who think critically, stand firm in their faith, and don't just inherit beliefs but OWN them.Thank you to our sponsors!
Our kids are increasingly on the front lines when it comes to the battle for a biblical view of sexuality. On the latest episode in our Unapologetic Hot Takes series, Julia invites Hillary Ferrer—founder of Mama Bear Apologetics—to the show to speak into the fight against transgenderism, how to train our kids up to stand firm, and why we as parents need to be the first ones to teach our kids about sexuality. These are hot-button topics in today's day and age, but they're issues we don't need to apologize for and can't shy away from if we want to win the battle for our kids' identities. Throughout their conversation Julia and Hillary dig into why some Christians seem to be confused about how to address transgenderism, the pressure to normalize behaviors that are clearly unbiblical, and how not to live by lies. Hillary wraps up the episode by encouraging moms and dads who are scared to raise kids in today's culture—reminding them that the only sphere of influence they're responsible for is their family, not controlling what everyone else believes. You can learn more about Mama Bear Apologetics and Hillary's work on their website or by following them on Instagram.

The Barbie movie is a certified box office hit, but in between the pink sparkles and choreographed dance numbers what message does it send to viewers? Many Christians and conservatives are concerned that the film is another source of woke propaganda and indoctrination. Are they right? Or is it just a feel-good comedy that has received unfair criticism? In this week's podcast, the ladies of CIA 2023 come together to share their (surprisingly!) varied thoughts and opinions on the movie. Join Phoenix Hayes, Alisa Childers, Natasha Crain, Hillary Ferrer, and Melissa Dougherty as they discuss the good, the bad, and even the humorous moments displayed in the film. Making an analysis from a biblical perspective, the ladies also touch on questions like: Does the movie include any elements of truth? What does it mean to be a woman in today's world? What is the underlying message of the film? How are families, women, and men portrayed in the movie and by Hollywood in general? How can you prepare and encourage your kids to think critically about movies? Much more than a movie review, this conversation will touch on issues of radical feminism, toxic masculinity, motherhood, and "the patriarchy". Whether you've seen the film or not, you'll be sure to enjoy this roundtable discussion as the ladies address many of the recurring themes that lie just beneath the surface of the film and how those themes are direct parallels to what we're seeing in society today. To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST be sure to join our CrossExamined private community. It's the perfect place to jump into some great discussions with like-minded Christians while simultaneously providing financial support for our ministry.

Episode Summary. This episode gives four biblical foundations upon which a father needs to build his plan for training his child in the way he should go. For Further Prayerful Thought. How would you support the argument that the starting point for training a child is to help his heart learn to hate evil because he experiences painful consequences from bad choices and love righteousness because he experiences benefit from making good choices?In the portrait of eight character qualities that we must instill in our children, which ones stood out?What insight stood out in 4-step process of helping kids internalize the Word of God? Why do you think so many young parents are using the New City Catechism with their children?Is it overstating the case to say that dads who send their kids out into the secular world, after being cocooned in the Christian sub-culture with no training in worldviews, are sending out lambs to be slaughtered?Resources.Foundation # 1: Heart Trained by ConsequencesBoundaries with Kids, Henry Cloud & John TownsendRaising Great Kids, Cloud & TownsendFoundation # 2: Character Expressed in Godly AttitudesCharacter Development Training Plan (Pa 132 Focus Notebook)Foundation # 3: Word of God InternalizedThe New City Catechism CurriculumThe Topical Memory SystemFoundation # 4: Biblical Worldview EmbracedThe Secular Creed: Engaging Five Contemporary Claims, Rebecca McLaughlinA Practical Guide to Culture: Helping the Next Generation Navigate Today's World, John Stonestreet & Brent KunkleMama Bear Apologetics: Empowering Your Kids to Challenge Cultural Lies, Hillary Ferrer, Editor.For the printed version of this message click here.For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here.For FREE downloadable studies on men's issues

The concept of a "Mama Bear" needs no explanation. It instantly calls to mind a completely competent defender of the little bear cubs against whatever threatens those little ones. We have the founder of Mama Bear Apologetics, and the editor of the book "Mama Bear Apologetics: Empowering Your Kids to Challenge Cultural Lies," Hillary Ferrer. Like the branding, Hillary's aim is to help parents come to terms with the fact they are the first line of apologetic defense for their kids hearts and minds, and frankly, not many people are squared away for the task. Mama Bear Apologetics seeks to meet the need by providing resources for parents to become the competent defender that the idea "Mama Bear" brings to mind. We have a wonderful discussion especially about how you can track and handle manipulation of language. Dr. Mather shares his anecdotes of handling the manipulation of the term "Marriage" on college campuses in LA as an example.

We were grateful for the opportunity to interview founder and author of Mama Bear Apologetics, Hillary Ferrer.

It's important for parents to talk with their kids about sex, but it's a lot more difficult to do now than it used to be. Terminology related to sexuality, gender and orientation seems to change almost daily. My guest on this episode helps us cut through the confusion and point us and our kids back to the simple truth of God's plan for sexuality. Hillary Morgan Ferrer is founder of Mama Bear Apologetics and she minsters to moms by doing the research they don't have time to do on tough subjects like this. We're bombarded by dangerous lies and ideas about sexuality, everywhere from the media to schools and even some churches. Hillary's and my discussion can empower you to confidently respond to those messages with grace and truth.

In training up our children the way they should go, how many of us mothers consider our duty to train them in Christian apologetics? I'll talk it over with Hillary Morgan Ferrer, author of "Mama Bear Apologetics." Plus: What are the roots of what ails academia? Dr. John Ellis, distinguished professor emeritus at the University of California, Santa Cruz, will discuss his book, "The Breakdown of Higher Education: How it Happened, the Damage it Does and What Can Be Done." That's on Friday's JANET MEFFERD TODAY.
It seems like people forgot how to have meaningful conversations with others who have contrasting world views. We look at our differences and take offense instead of listening to others, recognizing our similarities, and then lovingly sharing the truth. How can we teach apologetics to others so they have a Biblical worldview and be able to defend their new-found faith? Well-known and well liked, Mama Bear Apologetics guru, Hillary Ferrer, talks with Tina on the importance of recognizing common ground with others before dissecting the lies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today, we celebrate a very special milestone! This is our 50th podcast episode, and we've got something fun for you.

The term “Mama Bear” conveys the idea of protection and nurture. Just like bears are very protective of their cubs, so are human mothers. Hillary Ferrer unpacks this concept as it relates to Christian apologetics in her book Mama Bear apologetics. Apologist Perseus Poku interviews Hillary about her book in this episode.
Can modesty actually be an act of worship? And what does that even look like in a world where “less is more” seems to be the fashion motto? In this episode, we dive into the ever-relevant and controversial topic of modesty—but not in a finger-waggy, rulebook kind of way. We're talking about modesty as a form of worship that honors both God and the bodies He gave us. From 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 to 1 Peter 3:3-4, we unpack what Scripture actually says about how we present ourselves—especially in an era where TikTok trends and Insta-influencers are shaping how our daughters think about beauty and worth.We also tackle those messy misconceptions about clothing and modesty, and how fashion can either reflect our faith or blur the lines. And for the moms raising girls in a culture that's marketing crop tops and barely-there outfits to 8-year-olds? This conversation is for you. We'll look at how modesty has been both overemphasized in purity culture and undervalued in modern culture, and offer some real-life tips for teaching modesty without shame or legalism. Because guess what? You can raise daughters who are confident, stylish, and rooted in Christ.Main Points Covered(00:05) - Role of modesty for Christian parents(09:21) - Cultural influence on modesty standards(18:46) - Cultural lies about modesty (or lack of modesty)(25:59) - How does modesty translate to clothing?People and Resources MentionedTalking Back to Purity Culture by Rachel Joy WelcherOur Bodies Tell God's Story by Christopher WestMama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality by Hillary Ferrer and Amy DavisonChristian Modesty and the Public Undressing of America by Jeff Pollard1 Corinthians 6:19-201 Peter 3:3-4Romans 6:131 Timothy 2:92 Timothy 3:16Romans 12:21 Timothy 2:9-10Proverbs 7Galatians 5:16-19Proverbs 31—Editing and Support by The Good Podcast Co.
